OIL-CAN.

Specification of Letters Patent. Pgt'tefitedl F131, 29,1?)21,

Application filed August 22, 1919. Serial No. 319,263.

To all w Zwm it may concern;

Be 1t known that I, FRANoIsoo HERNAN- nnz, a citizen of the United States, resid- My invention relates to new and useful improvements in an oil can.

The principal object of theinvention is the constructlon of an oil can in such a manner that the oil is discharged under pressure.

Another object of the invention isthe provision of means for supplying the can with'air so that the oil will be held under pressure.

A further object of the lnvention resides in the provision of a valve adapted to be. operated for discharging the o l from the can. I

Still another object of the invention resides in the provision of a discharge tube having a plurality of passages leading to a single outlet in the can spout.

With these and other objects in View my invention consists in the novel details of construction and arrangement of parts which will be more clearly understood from the following specification and drawings 1n which:

Figure 1 is a vertical section Wlth' parts shown in elevation.

Fig. 2 is a horizontal section through the can spout.

Fig. 3 is a fragmental detail showing a I section of the line 3-3 of Fig. 2 and Fig. 4 is a fragmental detail showing a vertical section through the discharge tube.

In the drawings the numeral. 1 indicates the can provided with the usual bottom 2 and top 3. The top is provlded with an opening 4: which is interiorly threaded to receive a screw cap 5. A strainer 6 is adapted to be supported in the opening in the top by means of a ring 7 whlch 1S connected to the top of the strainer and adapted to rest upon the flange 8 formed around the opening.

A handle 9 is secured to the can 1 by means of the connecting arms 10 and 11 and this handle 9 forms the cylinder of the pump which is used for forcing air into the can, The handle will be cylindrical in form and is closed at. thebottom as indicated at 12 and provided at the top with a cap 13 which has a central opening therein through which the plunger rod 14 is adapt-' ed to pass; A piston head 20 is secured on the lower end of the plunger rod 1 and is of usual construction and adapted to snugly fit the handle or cylinder 9. A knob 21 is secured to the top of the plunger rod lt so as to form a handle for operating the plunger. A protecting strip 22 is placed around the handle 9 and this maybe of any suitable material although asbestos is preferable. In using the pump the handle is liable to become heated and it is for this reason that I forrthe hand.

. The arm 11 connecting the lower end of the handle to the can is hollow and is provided with the flap valve 23 and the check valve 24. The valves both operate toward the can so that air; from the handle or pump" may be forced into the can through the valves. The valves will preventthe air from being forced back into the pump when the plunger rod is drawn upwardly;

A central opening is formed'in the top 3 and a spout 25 of usual construction extends provide the protecting strip 22,

from said opening; This spout is provided on the interior with a plate 26 which is of such a size as to extend approximately over one half of the diameter of the spout and guide-ways 27 are formed entirely across the spout adjacent the sides. A second plate 28 is adapted to operate in the guides, more particularly illustrated in Fig. 2 of the drawings and this plate is of such a size as to normally close the opening left in the spout by the plate 26. through an opening formed in the spout/and extends through an opening formed in a bracket 30 secured to the top of the can. The rod 29 also passes through a second bracket 31 secured to the handle 9 and a is pressed to open the spout this plate 35 A rod. 29 passes will engage the spout and securely close the opening through which the rod 29 passes to prevent leakage of the oil through said opening.

A tube 36. is arranged within the can 1,

V leased. The end of the tubes 36 being in at an angle, as shown in Fig. 1 of the drawings, and the end 37 of this tube is slightly spaced from the bottom and sideof said can as shown. Branch tubes 38 extend from the upper end of the tube 36, at an angle, and terminate in a single outlet 89. The outlet 39 is secured in the lower end of the spout 25 by means of a plate or casting 40. It will be noted that the branch tubes 38 extend at right angles to the tube36.

slaving fully described the detailed construction of my can it is thought that the advantages and mode of operation will be understood. The oil is admitted to the can lby removing the cap 5 and is strained through the strainer '6. The knob 21 on the plunger rod let is engaged and the rod operated so as to draw the piston up and down. This will force air into the can through the arm 11 and valves 23 and 24 and thereby place the oil, within the can, under pressure. When it is desired to discharge the oil from the can thehandle 9 is grasped and by pressing upon the knob 32 on the rod 29 the plate 28 will be shifted into the guides 27 and an opening formed in the spout 25 through whichthe oil may pass. The plate on the rod 29 will close the opening in the spout through which the rod 29 passes. The coiled spring 34: will return the rod and the plate 28 into their normal position when the knob 22 is rethe position indicated at 37 will allow all of the oil to vbe discharged from the can when the can is tilted. The branch tubes 38 allow the oil toseparate after leaving the tube 86 and will therefore be placed under greater pressure and discharged through the single opening or discharge 39.

The foregoingdescription and the drawings have reference to what may be considered the preferred, or approved form or my invention. It is to be understood that I may make such changes in construction and arrangement and combination of parts, materials, dimensions, etc., as may prove expedicut and fall within the scope oi the ap pended claim.

Having fully described my invention what I claim as new anddesire to secure by Let ters Patent is d An oil can comprising a body, a spoutleading from the body, guides formed in the spout, a plate fixedly situated onthe guides so as to close half of the spout, a second plate slidaloly mounted in the guides so as to normally close the other haltof the spout, and means for operating the second plate. i

In testimony whereof I affix mysignature in presence 01": two witnesses.
